Proposal
Presentation
Quarter 4 – Module 2:
Learning At the end of the module, you are expected to:
1. familiarize with the do’s and don’ts in creating
Objectives slide deck or power point presentation;
2. create a slide deck or power point presentation;
and
3. demonstrate oral presentation skills in a
congress through a research proposal defense.
A research plan details the planned science fair project and
must be accepted before experiments are performed by a
science fair committee. It does not provide experimental data,
but instead provides the questions you plan to answer, the
importance of questions, context details, and experimental
design. Since your plan must be accepted by a committee, have
a proposal that represents your ideas as important, doable, and
unique in its approach.
The purpose of a proposal presentation is to
persuade evaluators to support your research
project, convince the audience that the project is
worth doing and that you are capable of carrying it
out. More so, it will counter check if your
methodology is correct and accurate. That is why
your presentation, both slide and oral, must be
engaging and compelling.
Before going through the defense proposal, one must be ready. A
slide deck presentation and preparation for oral presentation is a
must.
Creating Slide Deck or PowerPoint Presentation to enhance the
Oral Presentation
The most common aid in an oral presentation is the slide deck or

power point. In doing the presentation, you may consider the
following guidelines adapted from https://techooid.com/research-
paper-presentation:
Slide Decks It is a must to know what to include on your
or Power Point presentation. It should consist of the Title slide,
Presentation Introduction, Methodology and References.
Research Below is the suggested outline of the whole
Proposal research proposal presentation.
Outline 1. Title slide
You can write the full title of the research
proposal here and its proponent/proponents.
There shall be only one slide for this part.
2. Introduction
You may discuss the “problem” on which you wish to work on.
Give a good rationale why you want to conduct the study. Tell your
audience also about the verifiable goals and objectives; your
statement of the problems and hypotheses. It should be clear to your
audience what you're looking for. Make sure that these goals are
specific, measurable, result- oriented, and time -bound. Things that
you need to remember: Focus on the relevant information and make
it concise. Do not use more than 3 slides in the introduction. Your
slide number one must start on the first slide of your introduction.
3. Methodology
It’s about the materials and procedure or the recipe and
spices of your research work. Mention all the materials that
are required to do the task. You may use a flowchart in
presenting this. Emphasis on any special equipment you
will use during your work. Include how your data will be
analyzed and the appropriate statistical tool to be used.
Moreover, risk and safety must be included. Use only 2-3
slides.
4. Bibliography and References
Include all the references you used in
developing your research proposal. Use the
appropriate referencing. Consume 1-2 slides
on this part
Tips in creating the slide decks or PowerPoint presentation
A good slide deck or PowerPoint presentation will help you and your audience to be guided in the
whole presentation. Below are tips that will help you in developing your slide deck presentation.
1. There should be 5*5 rules in each slide. I.e. there are five words in one sentence and there should
be five lines on one slide.
2. Data should be in the form of small key points or bullets. Data should not be in paragraph form
on the slide. It should be precise. Slides are not for the audience it just hints for the presenter.
The presenter should explain all terms and every concept that is written on the slide.
3. The standard heading size is 44 while the standard text size is 32.
4. Make a link of one slide with the second slide during the presentation. For example, tell the
audience what they will listen to and see in the next slide.
5. The template of the slide deck presentation should not have shocking color. Text color should be
in contrast with template color. If somewhere in slides text color is the same as the template
audience would not be able to see what is written on it.
6. There should be a slide number on every slide except the title slide.
7. Both slides have to be homogeneous. In the text of the entire presentation, the presenter can use either upper
case or lowercase alphabets
8. The animation should be used, but transitions should not be used.
9.There should be a table of content of the presentation on the slide next to the title slide. By explaining this
presenter should give an overview of the whole presentation.
10. Polish your graphics. Here is a list of hints for better graphics:
. Use large letters; no fonts smaller than 16 points.
b. Keep the graphic simple. Don't show graphs you won't need. Don't crowd the viewgraph, don't use different
fonts or type styles - it makes your slide look like a ransom note. Make sure the graph is simple and clear. A little
help from those who have this artistic talent will be of great help.
c. Use color. Color makes the graphic stand out, and it is not that expensive anymore. However, avoid red in the
text - red is difficult to see from a distance. Also, check your color viewgraph using the projector. Some color
schemes look fine on paper but project poorly.
d. Using cartoon to explain science will help your audience understand your presentation better.
Oral Presentation
1. Preparing for Oral Presentation 1. Prepare your material carefully and logically.
Tell a story. The story should have your Introduction and Method. It becomes
more interesting to the listener if this section is "story like" rather than "textbook
like".
2. Practice your talk. Practicing the talk is the best way to get acquainted with the
content and get the pacing of the talk right. There is no excuse for this lack of
preparation. Even better, practice in front of a small audience
3. Make notes for yourself. But do not write everything you will say. Just the key
points. Don’t worry about pausing once in a while to think. You may use your
notes if necessary
4. Know your audience. Assume your audience as experts in your topic.
5. Anticipate Questions. Write possible questions your evaluators might
ask. Be ready for them.
6. If you will be using Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom, test it in the room
where you’ll be speaking the day or two before your presentation to ensure
it works as you need it to. Check for a good internet connection. If
presenting face to face, check the venue and its available facilities and
equipment so you can make necessary adjustments, if needed.
7. Make sure you have backup files of your presentation.
8. Try not to be anxious after all of the training/practice. Bear in mind, you
know the role best. Each of your audience has been chosen for their area of
expertise, but you are the expert when it comes to your work.
1. Dress up – People are there to hear your material, but when you dress up you send the
message that you care enough about the audience to look nice for them. Do not wear
something distracting like loud accessories and loud clothes. In terms of color, choose dark
Delivering clothes rather than light because dark colors are more powerful. Make sure your blouse or shirt
has a collar.
the Oral 2. Follow a good public speaking practice. Speak loudly and clearly enough.
3. Don't bring too many ideas inside. Strong speakers would have and stick to the material with
Presentation one or two central points. The point of a discussion is to convey scientific questions, not to
show people how smart you are. Here is a useful rule of thumb - it takes approximately 1.5-2
minutes to display each view. Finally, presume that most of the audience may know very little
about the topic and need a simple explanation of what you're doing, not just information.
4. Avoid equations. If there is really a need to show an equation - simplify it and talk to it very
briefly.
5. Have only a few conclusion points. People can't remember more than a couple of things
from a talk especially if they are hearing many talks/presentations at one meeting/session.
6. Talk to the audience, not to the screen. Maintain eye contact with the audience so
they will not lose interest. If presenting virtually, look at the camera of your device.
Maybe this is difficult to avoid, but the speaker needs to consciously look at the
Delivering object on the screen, point to it, and then turn back to the audience to discuss the
feature. Let people look at the viewgraph for a few moments - they usually can't
the Oral concentrate on the material and listen to you at the same time. Speak loudly and
slowly. Pick out a few people in the audience and pointedly talk to them as though
Presentation you were explaining something to them. If presenting face to face, do not stay on one
corner of the stage/platform.
7. Avoid making distracting sounds. Everyone gets nervous speaking in public. But
sometimes the nervousness often comes out as annoying sounds or habits that can be
really distracting. Try to avoid "Ummm" or "Ahhh" between sentences. If you put
your hands in your pockets, take the keys and change them out so you won't jingle
them during your talk
8. Use humor if possible. A joke or two in your presentation spices things up and
relaxes the audience. It emphasizes the casual nature of the talk.
9. Be enthusiastic during the presentation. Keep your momentum from beginning to
the end of your presentation.
Questions after your talk can be scary. But questions are very important. If there are no
questions after a talk, it means that you failed to stimulate the audience, or that they
understood nothing of what you said. You failed to communicate. Questions tell you what part
Responding of your talk the audience did not understand. Questions may also help you focus your
research or help you in the write- up. Your ability to answer the questions after the
to Questions presentation will convince your audience or panelists that you know the in and out of your
study. So, what is the best way to handle questions?
after the Oral 1. First, repeat the question. This gives you time to think, and the rest of the audience may not
Presentation have heard the question. Also if you heard the question incorrectly, it presents an
opportunity for clarification. Make your answer brief.
2. If you don't know the answer then say "I don't know, I will have to look into that." Don't try
to invent an answer on the fly. Be honest and humble. You are only human and you can't
have thought of everything.
3. If the questioner disagrees with you and it looks like there will be an argument then defuse
the situation. A good moderator will usually intervene for you, but if not then you will have
to handle this yourself. e.g. "We clearly don't agree on this point, let's go on to other
questions and you and I can talk about this later."
4. Never insult the questioner. He/she may have friends, and you never need more enemies.
Think carefully about your final
words and how you will finish your
Ending Your Oral presentation. You have to end strong.
Presentation 1. Say Thank you - It is always a
good idea to acknowledge people
who helped you improved your
proposal. Make sure all the
recommendations, suggestions, and
comments are well noted for the
improvement of your research
proposal.
Thank you!
